I bet a lot of us are in that same boat. I remember after I finished scrapping my first Disney trip I put the "leftover" (yes, that is how I thought of it then) paper and die cuts in ONE large envelope and the scissors in a quart size ziploc bag and put them in a deep drawer of my regular home office desk.
Today, I have not only my portion of our home office (which the scrapping stuff is now all out of) but last summer I took our "spare room" - you know the one that is supposed to be for guests but is the junk collector? and cleaned it out. Then along one wall I set up the 8 foot table we had for Scouts that we no longer needed as extra work space because the troop shrunk. This room as a couple sets of drawers that hold some small paper, scissors, adhesives, stickers, card stock, etc. Then there are the baskets with paper, page protectors. Not to mention the pile on top of the piano for the book I'm working on right now or will be again in a few weeks!
On New Year's Day two other families came over and the girls scrapped. One has been doing this for years and walked in carrying 3 totes, a large album of stickers, and had her hubby and son loaded down with more stuff. Then there was me - not quite to her level yet, and finally a newbie. She spent most of the day just trying to organize the few snap packs she has picked up, opening the packages on some CM tools, and sorting pictures trying to figure out how she wants to progress. She finished one page and was delighted. Then looked at our self-proclaimed QUEEN who was slicing up a panaramic background shot to work in with her son's senior proofs and said "why am I doing this? I'll never be able to do that?" Well after we wiped the tears of laughter out of our eyes I pulled out one of those "first" books you don't usually show off and assured her she certainly would if she wanted to and Brenda showed her the fast formulas book where she came up with the idea!
